The United States of America supports the sovereignty of Moldova and closely monitors the developments surrounding the so-called Transnistria, says US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.
Miller was asked to comment on today's appeal of Transnistria to Russia with a request for "protection from Moldova".
The speaker noted that the US is monitoring the actions of Russia and Transnistria, as Moscow plays an increasingly aggressive and destabilizing role in Europe.
"The United States firmly supports Moldova's sovereignty and territory within internationally recognized borders," he added.
What preceded
Earlier the media reported that today, on February 28, the deputies of Transnistria were to ask the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to join the Russian Federation at the congress. However, this never happened. The so-called Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic simply called on Russia to "protect them from Moldova".
Andrii Yusov, a representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, said in a comment to RBC-Ukraine that such a result is a failure for Russia.
